I wrote, “The Final Feast”, not to tell believers exactly how to become a Tabernacle Christian but rather to help those interested personally explore this undiscovered country. Learn about the spiritual fulfillment of the Feast of Tabernacles and Divine Love here…
To begin with, in the story of the Good Samaritan, what strikes me he was the one who ‘responded” to the mans need. The others, though they saw his need, side stepped him on the roadside. They could not be bother with the poor man’s plight. In contrast, the Samaritan didn’t worry about the inconvenience or the expense, he just responded to a need he saw. Frankly, isn’t this how a neighbor should be?
Unfortunately, the Jews looked down upon the Samaritans as unworthy of the things of God because they were of mixed heritage. However, God can use anyone, anywhere, anytime, anyhow, for His purposes. Many times, God uses people ‘outside of the religious box’ to further His kingdom. Moreover, doing our Father’s will pleases Him.
Do unto others
This story reminds me of the old lady telling me…you wont go far wrong in life if you do unto others as you would have done to yourself…
Do unto others has no limitations on,
who/what/when/where/why,
you would do it.
Do we respond to the needs we see in our communities? Like the Samaritan we only need to recognize the need we are presented with. Though others may be more “qualified” it does not matter. When we see the need, it is up to us to do something about it.
Testify of God’s greatness
How often do we only turn to God when in need and then, once the crisis passes, just carry on with life. Do we think to testify of the miracles God does in our lives to others so that we give Him glory? On the other hand, what about being the hand of God to help someone else for a change?
Dare to be God’s hand and heart to the world. The WORLD is your neighbor because, for God so loved the world, that He sent His only begotten Son to die for the whole world. Therefore, the world is your neighbor. God says to even love your enemies.
Such as you have, give to your neighbor
God’s Divine Love flowing through actions demonstrates His nature . Be the unity of the Love of God on this earth. Become Christ’s ambassadors here on earth. Moreover, don’t sidestep anyone, anywhere, anymore. Love your neighbor no matter how strange, or difficult their situation may seem. In other words, reach out and touch the hurting of this world.
Always remember…
You are peacemakers.
We are ambassadors.
In like manor, be Christ’s representatives here on earth.
We’re God’s beloved sons and daughters.
All are vessels for God.
Likewise, we are a temple of the Holy Spirit.
Be filled with God’s Love and Spirit.
Moreover, become part of the corporate Body of Christ, with your own roles in that.
Let us keep reconciliation to our Father as key in reaching out to people.
You are individually important.
Finally, just as you are, you are very much loved by our Father, with whom He is well pleased … accept it and believe it!!
What follows is one of the most profound revelations I have received in the last 30 years. This understanding is born from above and not from me. Only God can reveal such things and He is the author of this truth.
Sometimes I hesitate to share the deep things of the Spirit with the general public. There is a concern that these revelations may be trodden under foot, because Jesus said,
“Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.”
Matthew 7:6
My sincere hope is that you treat these writings with the care and respect they deserve. we will be held accountable for everything that God shows us during this life time. Therefore, search your heart before you read this essay and assess if you are really open to hear what the Spirit is saying to this generation.
Gods says,
“And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the worldto come,”
Hebrews 6:5
There is a world to come. This world to come is literally a new creation: the New Heavens and New Earth. It is written,
“For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.”
Isaiah 65:17
What is presently happening among those who are Spirit led is we are “tasting” of the powers of the world to come. We’re beginning to experience, in this world, what are lives will be like in the next. Through the agency of the Holy Spirit we have a down payment of how things will be in God’s new creation.
What are Spiritual Connections?
The phenomenon of “spiritual connections,” is part of this foretaste of our future home. As we return to innocence through revelation, we experience neither being married or given in marriage. Literally, we come to know the first love of Eden.
I often wonder why a “Holy Kiss” is both permissible and proper between brethren. Instinctively, I know that ta kiss represents a level of comfort, trust, and intimacy between saints. However, I did not know “why” kissing another believer was was sanctioned by Paul the apostle.
This kind of affection is pure and holy is because it is a foretaste of another world. It is a natural condition of being neither married or given in marriage in that place. In the New Heavens and New Earth, people connect through God’s Holy Spirit. Likewise, saints demonstrate their affections to extent that they are led by the Holy Ghost. For the most part, this will be simple familiarity and comfort in each others presence. For others, as they are Spirit led, there will be various degrees of intimacy as they are Spirit led. In everything, all will be God authored and only go as far as people are led by the Spirit. This will be a outgrowth of the glorious liberty of the Sons of God.
Here is a truth,
“The only boundary that will exist in the New Heavens and New Earth is the one that God’s Holy Spirit sets at the time He sets it.”
This type of trust is beyond what many can imagine at the present time. However, as we become one with the Spirit of God we will let go of all our man made boundaries and allow God to simply lead us.
We are strangers from a strange land
Having been given, through the Holy Spirit, a foretaste of the world to come, we begin to take on the nature and practices of our future home. In that place there are no barriers between people and Spirit led intimacy. It is a return to the innocence of the Garden of Eden when we were naked and unashamed. In the world to come we love without boundaries and so we love, in a foretaste and in part, without boundaries here also. In the New Heavens and New Earth the institution of marriage is not relevant for it is superseded by something much greater. During the age to come we are moved by His Spirit in all things, even procreation.
Will there be children born in heaven?
Many find it difficult to believe that there will be procreation in the world to come, however, I believe children will be born throughout eternity. I base this belief on the observation that our bodies are glorified and that the world to come is much like our present Earth. Procreation is a central theme of all life on this earth and was God’s original commandment before sin entered into the world. Therefore, if God is going to the trouble to create an New Heavens and New Earth it is highly likely that procreation with be a center of that cosmos too.
Neither married or given in marriage
Due to the fact that people are neither married or given in marriage in the age to come, when we experience a foretaste of our future home, the bounds of earthly marriage begin to dissolve and loose their relevance in this present world. This is why saints greet each other with a holy kiss.
Spiritual love, which reveals itself in spiritual intimacy, is also a foretaste of the marriage supper of the Lamb. It is a time of joy, love, liberty, and closeness on a scale unimaginable in this earth. As the Body of Christ comes into alignment with God we will begin to experience now, in this world, what is to common place in the world to come.
Gods says,
“And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.”
Luke 7:37-39
Love without lust
This woman, moved by true love from above, intimately washed Jesus’s feet with costly ointment and her hair. She even kissed Jesus’s feet. Why was this proper? Why did Jesus accept this type of intimate behavior? It was because the intimacy she showed to Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit. She was innocent. It was done through the will of God and proper in His sight.
The restoration of the spiritual fulfillment of the Feast of Tabernacles will have, as a central characteristic, a return to such pre-fallen innocence. We will be led to do things, such as the woman above, that may look unseemly to others. We may display a level of intimacy and physical comfort with one another that is normally reserved for holy matrimony because we are in fact, through God’s Spirit, experiencing a foretaste of the marriage feast of the Lamb.
Moreover, when you are spiritually connected to another person you do not feel any boundaries. Normal conventions mean nothing any longer. Rules that you have followed your whole life seem irrelevant. Precepts and principles that people have followed to prevent the appearance of impropriety dissolve and dissipate in the presence of such Love. Our innocence returns and we simply live by revelation doing whatever that proceeds out of the mouth of our Father. We do not judge or fret, we simply “be” in Him. Our bodies literally become instruments of God’s divine will doing whatever our Father wishes to do through them. In this place, we become one with Him and manifest His love in whatever way His Spirit leads.
A foretaste of the world to come
There is a world to come and we, through God’s Spirit, are beginning to experience it now. God’s love is just one manifestation of it. Some other manifestation are,
Healing
Words of wisdom
Words of knowledge
Miracles
Translation (rapture)
Visions
Dreams
Raising people from the dead
All of these supernatural occurrences, and many more, are only possible because of the earnest of our inheritance (The Holy Spirit, i.e. God). This is why you need to be filled with the Spirit. It is only the working of the Holy Spirit in us that makes these things possible. All supernatural things violate natural laws. The supernatural occurs because we are not subject to this physical universe but are living by the laws and through the power of the world to come.
True Love from Above
In conclusion, spiritual connections are a foretaste of normal relationships in the New Heavens and New Earth. As such, these relationships follow the rules of the world to come and are not bound by the traditions of this present creation. What is proper and acceptable in the New Creation follows the pattern that God sets out there. People who judge what Spirit led people do through the Love of the Spirit by the norms of this age do err.
I know that most do not have a very good idea of what I am talking about because they have not yet experience it. You literally have no frame of reference for something that is not even of this world. This sort of thing actually happens all the time and many have even experienced it in part but, not knowing what it was, either dismissed it our called it of the devil. However, as we move closer to the manifestation of the sons of God open-ended spiritual relationship will become the norm. People will experience an unprecedented degree of intimacy, pure and holy, with one another. God’s Divine Love is here and it is wonderful. Spiritual Connections will heal and bind up and lost and hurting generation. Amen.
